If you give Barry Bannan the freedom of Villa Park, what do you expect. No-one within 10 yards of him all afternoon. The team is built around him and yet no-one got anywhere near him. It was like a royal visit.
35k people turned up to watch that today. Many won’t return until the manager has left.
And another thing.Why the fuck has McGinn been taken off free kick and corner duty? His deliveries in the first couple of games were outstanding, but the twat of a manager has decided the Hourihane should take every single dead ball kick?I think he is deliberately trying to sabotage the team.
Load of Blues Bruce, pack your bags you fat c***.

We looked a defeated army out there today. As for the so called premiership players - bolasie will not give anything unless it is easy and in his favour. The Egyptian winger is he good enough? Abraham does he really want to play for us and how we are missing terry at the backAssume you weren't at the game? Our 'Egyptian winger' played right back in a back four today and was one of our better players. El Ghazi?People born in The Netherlands tend to be called Dutch.Good point

Slept on it and it remains as horrible as it was in real time. The single fundamental defect in our slide to where we now are is that we play too deep, we move the ball too slowly and we make unforced errors.Yesterday was typical. We try to mimic top flight teams by retaining possession with backwards and sideways passing. For that to work you need players with the pace and technique to make the killer pass or the killer run into the heart of the opposition. Our players are not good enough for that so we shuffle the ball about until it is hoofed forward or we lose possession.We would be infinitely more successful if we played Route 1 with strength and pace. Leicester won the Premiership doing it.As somebody said, we are so easy to play against. Let us shuffle the ball about until we either lump it aimlessly (Yes Hutton I am looking at you) or misplace a five yard pass (and you Jedinak). It is what we have become.
